Local villagers have become more aware of the medical service that is being offered free of cost, and an increase in patients and medical needs has escalated. As a result, the current building, with two small rooms, has become inadequate to deal with the expanding patient population.
So last year construction began on a new, much larger clinic. The new building will be completed by the fall of 2008 and will facilitate the provision of a much wider scope of medical services.
The new facility will have better patient privacy, Inpatient capacity, improved examination and treatment facility, accommodation for care givers/family members and volunteers, toilets and running water, pharmacy/dispensary, and laboratory facility. This is an exciting time to implement expanded programs such as antenatal care and Public health/hygiene education to reduce common and preventable causes of morbidity and death.
